Responsibilities

Take ownership of hard‑to‑fill, ageing, and business‑critical roles, often requiring immediate intervention.

Build pipelines from scratch through proactive, targeted sourcing and direct search.

Identify why roles are not moving (pipeline, role clarity, stakeholder alignment, market reality) and actively reset the approach.

Work at pace to create momentum, driving roles from stagnation to shortlist.

Partner with hiring managers and HR to challenge assumptions, recalibrate expectations, and unblock decision‑making.

Operate across multiple roles simultaneously, prioritising impact over activity.

Leverage market intelligence to reshape search strategies and unlock previously inaccessible talent pools.

Collaborate closely with sourcing teams to deliver high‑quality, ready‑to‑hire pipelines.

Reduce reliance on agencies by owning and delivering sourcing outcomes internally, aligned with broader TA sourcing priorities.

Drive visible progress on backlog and contribute to improving speed and effectiveness of hiring across the region.





Act as a catalyst for change — influencing how we approach difficult hiring challenges in the future.
